Recipe Pikelets or Drop Scones

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Today was one of those days. I needed some comfort food so it was time for some pikelets as they are known in our family.

The recipe is easy... I usually double or triple it.

4oz self raising flour
150ml milk (or soya/oat/nut milk is also fine)
1 egg
1-2Tbsp Golden Syrup
pinch of salt

It's pretty much a put everything in blender/mixer and whiz/mix to a thin runny batter.
Heat a griddle and very lightly grease
Each picklet needs about 2-3 Tbsp of batter
turn over when the larger bubbles burst and they are littley brown on the underside.
remove and repeat....

Best served hot.

Not got one of these then?

My mum (Scottish) always made them on one of these, over the coke burning stove

nope - my family are not from Scotland (just me I'm afraid). Our family heirloom is a rectangular lump of cast iron that weighs a ton. I have an old griddle pan that is circular, never washed and never sticks unless I try cooking dosa on it (so I bought the dosa a cheap tawa for under a £10...)

My griddle looks like this....

Apologies for the state of the kitchen - it has not been a good day today!

Your kitchen looks fine to me. Your pikelets look great too.

My mum used to make these and placed them, initially, in rows folded up in a tea towel.
She said it did something to them that make them taste even better.
I think that was just to stop my sister and I from scoffing the lot within 5 minutes
